I wrote this poem to try and express my anger. My Friends all had boyfriends and were leaving me in the dust. I felt so sad and wanted them to realize I hated being left behind. I want others to get a common ground, to realize you're not alone in feeling like a third wheel.

What does it mean to have someone? Is it nice? Do you enjoy it?

What does it mean to have someone? Are you ok with it? Can I feel sad about it?

You all have someone, Something that makes your heart tingle Someone to sit next to you Someone to fight for you

The terrible truth is not everyone, Not everyone has that someone some of us don't have a heart that tingles Some of us just sit alone Some of us just fight for ourselves

They call it "jealousy' Maybe they're right Maybe we're all jealous Jealous of the mutual attraction Or maybe it's that we're jealous that you aren't a third wheel

What does it mean to have someone? Is it nice? Do you enjoy it?

What does it mean to have someone? Do you like it better than being with me?
